00024887 Our Michigan wrongful diagnosis lawyers frequently represent clients in misdiagnosis cases. These cases are different than a failure to diagnose case because the physician or hospital has arrived at an improper diagnosis, rather than simply failing to make a diagnosis. A wrongful diagnosis is considered a mistaken identification of a medical condition. In order to receive compensation for injuries, the misdiagnosed must prove that the doctor failed to achieve a standard of care. The doctor should have ruled out every possibility that could have caused the symptoms with various tests until a definite diagnosis could be determined. In 2006, a New York Times article calculated that about 20% of every diagnosis involving a deadly illness is wrongly diagnosed. Common Illnesses That Are Wrongfully Diagnosed The most common illnesses that are wrongfully diagnosed include:  Cancer  Heart Disease  Strokes  Blood Clots  Meningitis  Diabetes In order to win your case, patients must have experienced some type of harm or loss.
